Cynthia Bailey Shares More about Her Split from Peter Thomas

It was about a month ago that Cynthia Bailey revealed that she and Peter Thomas, her husband of six years, were getting a divorce. Now, the television personality and model is opening up about why she and Thomas hare parting ways.

Bailey revealed to E! during Essence Festival 2016, “I don’t want it to be an ugly divorce because I still love Peter. I just don’t want to be married to Peter anymore.” She and Peter haven’t seen each other in five months, but Bailey does wish him the best. “I still root for him. I want him to win. I still love and support him. We are just not going to be married anymore.”

Bailey and Thomas were married on the show, but Bailey said that the cameras weren’t the major cause of the couple’s separation. “Regardless of if we were on the show or not, our issues would have happened anyways because it’s just personalities and it’s just chemistry and it’s also compatibility. I am really optimistic that in the end, after we take some time, we are going to be friends at the end of this because that was the start.”
